1 Climate & SDG aligned finance & the Paris Agreement Green finance (for climate & the SDGs) offers enormous untapped investment opportunities in developing countries. All financial actors have to work together to create the mechanisms for making these investments possible. With focus, resolve and ambition, we can lower the global thermostat and raise the level of economic opportunity for all. - Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary-General ( ) Jens Radschinski, UNFCCC Head of the Regional Collaboration Centre Bangkok
2 Contents Some reminders (2015 and INDCs/NDCs) What is needed on finance and how much is available Drivers of green finance What are green bonds and some facts on issuers and underwriters Performance & standards Examples of experiences in India and SE-Asia Some solutions available to address the development of local and international capital markets The UNFCCC regional collaboration centres 2
3 The collective of the three core agreements from 2015 Paris Agreement to make financial flows consistent with a pathway towards low GHG and climate-resilient development including financing adaptation to the growing number of negative impacts of climate change; The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development outlines a roadmap for generating shared value shifting capital away from business as usual towards increased prosperity and social inclusion and environmental regeneration; The Addis Ababa Action Agenda (AAAA) to strengthen regulatory frameworks to better align financial investment with public goals, including incentivizing sustainable practices, and foster long-term quality investment from domestic and international institutions. 3
4 Long-Term Goals of the Paris Agreement Ø Long-term goals: o o o Limiting temperature increase to well below 2 o C, pursuing 1.5 o C (Article 2) Aiming to achieve a balance between emissions by sources and removals by sinks of GHG in the second half of the century (Article 4.1) Reducing aggregate emissions in 2030 to 40Gt (1/CP.21, paragraph 17) Ø All Parties have committed to limiting their aggregate long term emissions to achieve these long-term goals à expressed through NDCs
5 INDCs / NDCs 142 countries have submitted the first NDC Unconditional / Conditional on the extent of financial resources, including technology development & transfer, and capacity building, that will be made available (to the Philippines.) ; Fiji: combination of robust global market based mechanism, plus direct aid transfer will be essential ; Target cover selected sectors / emissions from all sectors Increasing share of renewable energy A conditional GHG reduction target of 70% below business as usual (BAU) levels by 2030 (Philippines); RE in primary energy supply to 23% by 2025 (from 6%, Indonesia); 100% RE for energy production (Fiji); energy sector 20% emission reduction target (Sri Lanka); increase wind, solar, transport model shift road to rail (Bangladesh); At the same time, countries continue implementation of planned new, retrofitted fossil fuel based power generation, which is locking in emissions for decades and will make some INDC/NDC targets unlikely to be met. 5

8 Drivers of green finance Portfolio diversification Long-term investors are recognizing the threat of from GHG emissions and break-down in supply chains and have begun to veer away from climate risk and carbon-intensive investment 2015 Paris Climate Agreement created a need to finance $1 trillion a year in investments for renewable energy & other opportunities to limit global warming (before mid 2050) so as to avoid sciences worst expectations. OECD analysis suggests that the 2020s have the potential to be the golden years for green issuance in the low-carbon sectors. FSB Task force on climate disclosure Art 173 French Energy Transition Law Extreme weather contention Corporates are beginning to evaluate the consequences of increasing extreme weather and flooding 8
9 REQUIREMENTS OF ARTICLE Listed companies shall disclose in their annual report: Financial risks related to the effects of climate change; The measures adopted by the company to reduce them; The consequences of climate change on the company s activities and of the use of goods and services it produces. 2. Banks and credit providers shall disclose in their annual report: The risk of excessive leverage (not carbon-specific) and the risks exposed by regular stress tests. 3. Institutional investors shall disclose in their annual report: Information on how ESG criteria are considered in their investment decisions; How their policies align with the national strategy for energy and ecological transition. 9
10 Current observations renewable energy financing Lenders to renewable energy in larger emerging market countries are constrained. Examples: Ø Brazil: Funding cuts to BNDES but current loans make up large portion of assets Ø South Africa: Large amounts of outstanding RE debt on local bank balance sheets Ø India: Lenders approaching limits on new loans without reducing current assets Virtually no industrial scale capital recycling is available in developing countries over project life cycles leading to constraints on bank lending and resultant higher prices International debt capital markets not currently providing debt to renewable energy infrastructure in developing countries due to lack of asset classes with acceptable risk profile Almost complete absence of private sector project finance in lower income developing countries Consequences: Higher than necessary costs to energy consumers (high costs of interest & low sponsor equity leverage ratios), limiting affordability and uptake Projects either stagnate or development timeframes increase, leading to higher costs and risks to project developers Market failure: international debt capital markets are presently unable to contribute to Paris goals 10
11 What are Green Bonds? Green bonds are standard bonds with green or climate as a bonus Proceeds earmarked for climate or environmental projects Labelled as green by the issuer Green bonds have a financial and an environmental dimension, but effective and credible standards are needed to keep the green promise Majority of the green bonds issued are green use of proceeds or asset-linked bonds: proceeds are earmarked for green projects, are backed by the issuer s balance sheet (senior unsecured) Other types include: Green revenue bonds (revenue collateral) Green balance sheet bonds (B/S recourse) Green project bonds (asset recourse) Green securitized bonds (aggregated/covered) Green asset-backed bonds (pari-passu) 11
12 Conveyor Belt Financing addressing market failure Active debt capital markets would: Allow early risk-taking investors in projects to exit as they are brought to completion Increase the overall sum of capital available for low carbon investment (additionality of finance) Create a conveyor belt to allow entry and exit of appropriately priced debt providers at relevant stages of project s life cycle NBCF: NPA: ALM: Non-Banking Financial Company Non-Performing Assets Asset Liability Management How can this be achieved? 12

15 Market actors 15
16 Green finance is moving into the mainstream Green finance comprises <1% of the total capital market but...the demand for and supply of green investments is rising rapidly as new issuers enter the market and institutional investors look more aggressively for ways to hedge their climate exposures. Bank of America launched a green bond that was oversubscribed by 3 times. Rabobank demand reached 4 times the final book size. 16
17 If current municipal bond issuance continues. over $10 billion of new green municipal bonds can be expected in 2017 alone. Staterun entities like infrastructure and healthcare trusts, public transportation authorities and Green Banks remain the most popular source of green bonds. The total volume of green bonds more than doubled in 2016 to $93bn, Moody s, forecasts that it will rise again in 2017 to $120bn. The largest green bond in 2017 was a Euro 2 billion ($2.2 billion) issue from KfW, which will help finance its activities in renewable energy. 17
18 Sovereign green bonds issuance Sovereigns lead the supranational market in 2017, thanks to a record deal from the French government. Over 70% of SSA debt issued in 2017 to date was denominated in euros. The state of France issued the first of a series of sovereign green bonds, driving the majority of SSA activity in Supranational activity from China remains minimal most activity in the country is driven by financial organisations and corporations, not government agencies or development banks. $ billions E Half-year SSA issuance by currency denomination Other AUD CAD SEK EUR USD CNY Other AUD CAD SEK EUR USD CNY SSA: Supranational/Sovereign/Agency and Provincial (SSA) Source: Bloomberg New Energy Finance, Bloomberg Terminal

20 Corporate & government issuance Utilities & financials are the top corporate issuers of green bonds in 2017 Government or government-agent issued bonds continue to dominate, but utilities are taking an increasing market share. Globally, corporates remains one of the fastest growing sectors for green bond issuance. China Longyuan issued a Yuan 2 billion ($291 million) green bond in May, which will be used to finance new wind projects and refinance existing.

21 Green bond s performance Green bonds have not so far outperformed The hedged Barclays green bond index has been broadly in line with the global aggregate equivalent since the market first emerged four years ago. 21
22 Green bond certification system The problem is there is no universal certification system, which is holding the sector back as green bonds do not fully qualify as mainstream investment vehicles growth in green bond issuance is the most visible part of broader demand from investors for climate and SDG aligned investment; a move from the traditional shareholder activism to bondholder activism In response, some forms of assessment are emerging: International Capital Markets Association (ICMA) has a set of green bond principles, and the Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI), a UK government backed non-profit offers accreditation and certification. The UNFCCCsecretariat also facilitates a technical working group of DFIs on harmonization of standards and baselines for GHG mitigation also an ISO standard on climate finance and green bonds Indices have sprung up such as the Barclays MSCI green bond index and the S&P DJI green bond index. The rating agencies are also getting involved: Moody s runs a green bond assessment, and Standard & Poor s launched a green evaluation service last month.
23 Important for the PA are... Assessment of environmental net-benefit of the projects financed by the bond's proceeds over its lifetime relative to a local baseline - actual instead of promised or pledged Draw on, but not limited to, green bond principles and existing taxonomies - standardized disclosure to demonstrate actual benefit Assessment of additionality based on underlying project or assets not the financing instrument Connect the environmental performance to financial performance Inclusion of benchmarks in the sustainability space e.g. SPDJI Sustainability & MSCI Indices etc. Standards could include independent 3 rd -party assurance and accreditation as an essential element to enhance credibility. Existing environmental standards can provide shortcuts and help close the existing gaps (e.g. buildings, transport etc.) 23

30 RCCs mandate finance Provide via technical support, convening, & recognition enable implementation of the PA via 4 core functions: 1. Assist governments to actively promote low carbon and climate resilient investments in their countries and disseminate information on their enabling investment environments to investors and other market players. 2. Make it easier for financiers to find markets, identify co-financiers to form consortia, access project development funding to support investment-mature projects, and provide access to risk mitigation instruments and help structure projects and financing along the PA. 3. Help provide project owners with increased visibility for their projects among financiers and other market players, making it easier to identify relevant financiers, advisors, service providers for specific needs and enable targeted and relevant engagements/roundtables. 4. Work with financial institutions in particular bilateral funds, regional, multilateral development banks on mobilizing private capital, assisting on guarantee platforms, and supporting infrastructure investment. Guiding vision on finance: to support efforts to substantially scale up finance and investment in contributing to the objectives of the Paris Agreement - integrate as rapidly as possible, the goals described by Articles 2, 4.1, and 7.1 into the conduct of all relevant economic and social development activity 30
